(2) In the case of taking what is not given … (3) In the case of sexual misconduct … (4) In the case of false speech … (5) In the case of malicious speech … (6) In the case of harsh speech … (7) In the case of gossip … (8) In the case of covetousness … (9) In the case of ill will … (10) In the case of wrong view … (11) "Through renunciation in the case of lust, (a) abandoning is virtue … (12) Through non-ill-will in the case of ill-will … (13) Through perception of light in the case of stiffness-and-torpor … (14) Through non-distraction … agitation … (15) Through definition of states (dhamma) … uncertainty … (16) Through knowledge … ignorance … (17) Through gladdening in the case of boredom … (18) "Through the first jhāna in the case of the hindrances, (a) abandoning is virtue … (19) Through the second jhāna … applied and sustained thought … (20) Through the third jhāna … happiness … (21) Through the fourth jhāna in the case of pleasure and pain, (a) abandoning is virtue … (22) Through the attainment of the base consisting of boundless space in the case of perceptions of matter, perceptions of resistance, and perceptions of variety, (a) abandoning is virtue … (23) Through the attainment of the base consisting of boundless consciousness in the case of the perception of the base consisting of boundless space … (24) Through the attainment of the base consisting of nothingness in the case of the perception of the base consisting of boundless consciousness … (25) Through the attainment of the base consisting of neither perception nor non-perception in the case of the perception of the base consisting of nothingness … (26) "Through the contemplation of impermanence in the case of the perception of permanence, (a) abandoning is virtue … (27) Through the contemplation of pain in the case of the perception of pleasure … (28) Through the contemplation of not-self in the case of the perception of self … (29) Through the contemplation of dispassion in the case of the perception of delighting … (30) Through the contemplation of fading away in the case of greed … (31) Through the contemplation of cessation in the case of originating … (32) Through the contemplation of relinquishment in the case of grasping … (33) "Through the contemplation of destruction in the case of the perception of compactness, (a) abandoning is virtue … (34) Through the contemplation of fall [of formations] in the case of accumulating [kamma] … (35) Through the contemplation of change in the case of the perception of lastingness … (36) Through the contemplation of the signless in the case of a sign … (37) Through the contemplation of the desireless in the case of desire … (38) Through the contemplation of voidness in the case of misinterpreting (insistence) … (39) Through insight into states that is higher understanding in the case of misinterpreting (insistence) due to grasping … (40) Through correct knowledge and vision in the case of misinterpreting (insistence) due to confusion … (41) Through the contemplation of danger in the case of misinterpreting (insistence) due to reliance [on formations] … (42) Through reflection in the case of non-reflection … (43) Through the contemplation of turning away in the case of misinterpreting (insistence) due to bondage … (44) "Through the path of stream-entry in the case of defilements coefficient with [false] view, (a) abandoning is virtue … (45) Through the path of once-return in the case of gross defilements … (46) Through the path of non-return in the case of residual defilements … (47) Through the path of Arahantship in the case of all defilements, (a) abandoning is virtue, (b) abstention is virtue, (c) volition is virtue, (d) restraint is virtue, (e) non-transgression is virtue. "Such virtues lead to non-remorse in the mind, to gladdening, to happiness, to tranquillity, to joy, to repetition, to development, to cultivation, to embellishment, to the requisite [for concentration], to the equipment [of concentration], to fulfilment, to complete dispassion, to fading away, to cessation, to peace, to direct-knowledge, to enlightenment, to Nibbāna."[^38] (Paį¹­is I 46–47)

Ettha ca pahānanti koci dhammo nāma natthi aƱƱatra vuttappakārānaṃ pāṇātipātādÄ«naṃ anuppādamattato.And here there is no state called abandoning other than the mere non-arising of the killing of living things, etc., as stated.

Yasmā pana taṃ taṃ pahānaṃ tassa tassa kusaladhammassa patiį¹­į¹­hānaį¹­į¹­hena upadhāraṇaṃ hoti,But the abandoning of a given [unprofitable state] upholds a given profitable state in the sense of providing a foundation for it,

vikampābhāvakaraṇena ca samādānaṃ.and concentrates it by preventing wavering,

Tasmā pubbe vutteneva upadhāraṇasamādhānasaį¹…khātena sÄ«lanaį¹­į¹­hena sÄ«lanti vuttaṃ.so it is called "virtue" (sÄ«la) in the sense of composing (sÄ«lana), reckoned as upholding and concentrating as stated earlier (§19).

Itare cattāro dhammā tato tato veramaṇivasena, tassa tassa saṃvaravasena,The other four things mentioned refer to the presence[^39] of occurrence of will as abstention from such and such, as restraint of such and such,

tadubhayasampayuttacetanāvasena, taṃ taṃ avītikkamantassa avītikkamanavasena ca cetaso pavattisabbhāvaṃ sandhāya vuttā.as the volition associated with both of these, and as non-transgression in one who does not transgress such and such.

Sīlaṭṭho pana tesaṃ pubbe pakāsitoyevāti.But their meaning of virtue has been explained already.

Evaṃ pahānasīlādivasena pañcavidhaṃ.So it is of five kinds as "virtue consisting in abandoning" and so on.

Ettāvatā ca kiṃ sÄ«laṃ? Kenaį¹­į¹­hena sÄ«laṃ? Kānassa lakkhaṇarasapaccupaį¹­į¹­hānapadaį¹­į¹­hānāni? Kimānisaṃsaṃ sÄ«laṃ? Katividhaṃ cetaṃ sÄ«lanti?At this point the answers to the questions, "What is virtue? In what sense is it virtue? What are its characteristic, function, manifestation, and proximate cause? What are the benefits of virtue? How many kinds of virtue are there?"

Imesaṃ pañhānaṃ vissajjanaṃ niṭṭhitaṃ.are complete.
